When I started blogging, creating content, and posting messages, I think I had this underlying expectation that I’d grow my following ten fold in the blink of an eye. That somehow, just by posting, people would gravitate towards my material and I’d turn into this big shot content creator. I mean, I believe in myselfContinue reading “Great Expectations”

Growing up in the 80s and 90s, I don’t recall many outlets for anyone, let alone men, to share their vulnerability. As a kid, if I got hurt, I was told, “just rub some dirt on it”. Crying was labeled as “bad”. For decades, all I knew was to hide my emotions. “Men don’t cry”Continue reading “I Cry Too”

I had a recent conversation and this question popped into my head. What is it that I want? WOW. Just my initial reaction to this question is powerful. But also unknown.

Today I ran into an old friend. Irritability. Perhaps you’ve heard of them? I found myself at various points today running into this old friend. At various times today, I found myself letting things out of my control affect my mood. It happens to the best of us. With so many things going on inContinue reading “Hello Old Friend”

I try to remain positive. I try to pause and reflect before acting. I will try to see the whole picture. All three sides to each story. Your side, my side, and the correct side. But sometimes in order to remain positive, you’ve got to set boundaries. And setting boundaries involves removing toxicity. Setting boundariesContinue reading “Removing Toxicity”

July 4 2021. I just wrapped up a hell of a weekend in LA with a great friend from PT school full of BBQ, beers, and beach. My wife and I are heading back up to our house in SLO and I’m sitting in the car, waiting for our coffee and breakfast. My mind isContinue reading “Power Of Mind-Body Connection”

August 29, 2022 How do you fill your cup? This is an important question. Take a moment to picture a coffee cup filled to the brim. The contents of this cup are made up of various elements of our day to day. From caring for loved ones, our work duties, sleep irregularities, meeting with clients,Continue reading “Fill Your Cup”

I’ve talked quite a bit about resistance on LinkedIn as well as this blog. And for good reason. Resistance is something I navigate each day.

Maybe we were told as children not to cry, or hide yourContinue reading “Acknowledging Your Resistance”
